And the answer is that the superbike segment is very competitive and expensive to enter-just ask BMW Motorrad. Small producers with a rich history, the victory also has a tendency to zig when others zag, which is how the Triple speed appears in the first place. However, the time may be right for Hinckley to put some effort to project a superbike.

With Yamaha going triple on us, having now debuted its first modern three-cylinder road bike, the 2014 Yamaha FZ-09, Triumph may see an ally in the fight to have production-based superbike classes include an 1,100cc provision for three-cylinder bikes, which would pave the way for a Daytona 1100 road bike.

After all, A superbike triple would be a welcomed change from the current crop of machines, as there is something exotic about the three-cylinder engine configuration — right Benelli owners? With all the pieces of the puzzle in front of us, Luca Bar has whipped up a concept render that of what such a potential project could look like.
